On May 14 and 15, 2019, the summer Bible study for the pastoral staff, deacons, and volunteers of the church in Quan'gang District, Quanzhou, Fujian province, was held in Meilin Church.

According to Quan'agang District Christian Council & Three-self Patriotic Movement (CC&TSPM), The study started with an opening ceremony where Rev. Liu Rongxi, chairman of the Quan'gang TSPM, exhorted the attendees to cherish every training opportunity and better cooperate with the pastoral staff of their own churches.

Pastor Chen Liping from the local Tuling Church led the participants to study the ministry experiences of Moses, Aaron , and Miriam.

Based on Chen's ten-year service in her church, she shared examples in her sermons of successful pastoring and management in Ningbo's Chengguan Church in Xiangshan Town, and Quanzhou's Tuzhai Church in Huian Town.

Throughout the study, the pastor encouraged the coworkers to take lessons from the successes and failures of the three Bible figures.

On May 31, in order to prepare for the reopening of the church and the resumption of church services after the outbreak, St. John's Church held an expanded meeting of the church committee to discuss and formulate an operation plan of church activity under the normal pandemic prevention and control, and conduct a simulated exercise of personnel entering and leaving the church.

Currently, the pandemic has been effectively controlled in China. Economic activity in most of the country has resumed. Maybe it won't be long before the Church opens to the public again. However, there might be some challenges for the Church in the post-pandemic era.
